This is a nice rural property with lots of space inside and outside. We enjoyed all the nature sounds outside. The one drawback to the location was the traffic noise- it is located right by the highway.
Nice hiking trails close by. The house was about five miles out of town so not too far if you need food or gas. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. We would like to visit this area again because there’s so much to see and would love to stay in this house again.
Large dog friendly cabin. Lots of room and a lovely backyard with beautiful views of the sunset. Dennis and Naomi communicated well and provided information on hiking trails in the area. Check in and check out were easy.
The house is very spacious and clean. It had everything you needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Satellite tv, books and games. There is a nice fire pit in the back for roasting marshmallows.
You guys were very nice to work with and we appreciated all of the amenities provided. The house was in a great location and was nice sized. There were a few things that were not to our liking though. The yard was a little tall, almost to our knees in some places and anytime we walked outside we would get covered in ticks had the yard been shorter it would not have been as bad. Also both of the doors in the sunroom were broken, the swinging door did not stay latched and the sliding door did not want to stay in the track. The air conditioning was fine for the downstairs living room but the air flow was not sufficient for the size of house. Also there was a used bandaid on the dresser in the master bedroom when we arrived. We just felt the house could use some updates.

Hi Timothy,
We're so glad you liked the house size and amenities. Sorry about the grass, our mowing man was scheduled to mow on the day you moved out, but I guess the spring weather is making it grow faster than I expected.
Thanks for notifying me about the sunroom doors, that's a new problem which didn't exist last time I was there.
Did you also use the upstairs air conditioner? It's more powerful and can nearly cool the whole house, up and downstairs.
Thanks again for your stay and I will get the swinging door and sliding door fixed.
Dennis
Dennis texted early in the day to say we could check in then, it was ready for us! That was a wonderful surprise. The cabin was adorable and spotless, and the most well-equipped place we have ever rented. We are already looking at dates to go back with friends!
This place was a gem! The location was perfect and the house was roomy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and the owners were quick to respond. We definitely will be renting again.
Great place - very nostalgic. Relaxing and loved the recliners. Wish there was a little kitchenette upstairs otherwise great.

Thanks for your stay and glad you found it relaxing! And just to make sure no reader misunderstands, I'll add that there is a full kitchen on the downstairs floor. 🤠 Welcome back anytime!
The house was very charming. Would be great for an extended family visit because it had a living area on each floor. Close to all the hiking we wanted to do.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Big Oak Cabin back when it was only a private residence, and bought it to enjoy it for our own trips, as well as to share with others. Its immense trees, including "Big Oak" himself (the 350 year old tree out front) give the property an amazing character. We've never found anywhere so relaxing.
